Publicity

Welcome to the Publicity Portal

We all recognise the need for effective publicity and promotion of our groups and Freegle. The sections and pages in this portal offer you ideas and resources to increase your group profile and membership and grow Freegle as an organisation.

Freegle Media is the central Freegle working group that deals with 'all things publicity'. All Freegle volunteers are welcome to join this group to share and get ideas.

Click on the blue title of each section to find links to pages of information.

Events and Awards

Freegle, groups and individuals have been successful in gaining several awards. Links and information about these can be found here.

Are you thinking about holding a local event? We have some advice to share that might help.

Or how about meeting up with Volunteers from around the UK? The annual Freestock event is the place for you!
